Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

The other night I was musing to a friend about the Fort Max reissue. I was trying to get him to understand the appeal, which failed. But then the conversation went on to a discussion about the rarest TF out there...

I'll have to concur with the G2 BotCon Exclusive Breakdown Action Master. That booger looks like a world full of awesome.

Now I don't have that much Action Master experience, but I must say. That thing looks horrible. I think I've only seen pictures of the packaging for it up to now. In my younger days I liked to have rare figures for the express purpose of their rarity, and this AM would have certainly fit that mindset. No way would I look at that thing and be happy.

I remembered some sort of BotCon Exclusive Breakdown that was rare. I thought it was an Action Master...but it's this:

I wasn't referring to the Action Master, which was an unapproved knock-off not made by Has/Tak. I was referring to this:

That guy on the SyFy show was a damn fool parting ways with this gem. I wouldn't have given a sh*t about what the host thought, she'd have no chance to con my ass into parting ways with that let alone the majority of my collection. Which wouldn't happen either...

It is not "horrific-looking" it's GLORIOUS and the coolest transformer i've ever seen in my entire life i'll have you know. I sure wish that it did see retail release.

I'd kill to have that holy grail. Kill lots of things. Well i wouldn't actually kill anything for it but you get the idea.But at least two official unreleased figures actually exist. So i believe it still counts as a rare figure in this thread. In fact i think it should be the next mold in the MP line

SO awesome.

Obviously the rarest figure there is is PRID Bumblebee. That sucker is toy gold.

Absolutely. I forgot all about him, that goes to show just how rare he is. In fact, I think the only other figures I can think of that might rival his rarity would be just about every Movie Bumblebee from the various films. You couldn't find those suckers ANYWHERE.

I remember during the movie days thinking to myself that if only I could find Bumblebee and buy like 90,000 of them my collection would be complete. Hasbro really missed the boat on that one. They could have made a truckload of cash off of me if only they had released more Bumblebees.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to return to the Shattered Glass universe where I belong .

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I am that which is, which was, and is yet to come.

And you will know my name is MEGATRON when I lay my vengeance upon you!

Apparently owned by some TF2005 member. He owns the only 2 in existence.

Speaking of Bumblebees, there is also a chrome silver DOTM one. I think there are close to 10 in existence... This was a lucky draw prize for the 1st 10 people who turned up for the DOTM midnight toy launch in Asia (14 may). In retrospect, I should have brought 10 of my friends and sat there from the afternoon.
